Coconut White Chocolate Truffles #SundaySupper

Just four simple ingredients and you can have these sublime Coconut White Chocolate Truffles for your sweet tooth’s pleasure!

Coconut Nirvana

Growing up, I had a penchant for those coconut bonbons in those boxes of chocolates that made the rounds on Valentine’s Day. Then my mom started making Mounds bars and I fell deeper in love with coconut desserts. But white chocolate was a more recent addiction–if it was around when I was a child, it wasn’t prevalent in central Iowa. Today is one of those rare occasions when I can combine both these favorites. And it’s a recipe that anyone can make—especially since it has so few ingredients and steps!

Only Four Ingredients

Can you even believe that you can make a rich, decadent and totally irresistible dessert with only FOUR simple ingredients??? Well, here is your proof. I chopped a bar and a half of good quality white chocolate, melted it with some heavy cream then whisked in a splash of vanilla bean paste. Once chilled and scooped, balls of ganache were rolled in coconut and voila, truffles! If you’re not a coconut fan, try rolling these gems in chopped nuts (pistachios are my new crush), sprinkles, or if you dare, chocolate melts. Make them to suit your own preferences and you’ll love every nibble.

Place white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Add cream and microwave gently, stopping and stirring at 30 second intervals, till mixture is smooth.

Chill for at least an hour or till firm.

Line a sheet pan with parchment and scoop out rounded teaspoons or tablespoons of ganache onto prepared pan. Chill again for at least an hour.

Roll ganache between palms to make nice spheres, then roll in coconut. Store in refrigerator.

Notes

Total time does not include 2+ hours of chilling time.

White chocolate does seem to be more prevalent these days. i remember some sort of white chocolate candy pieces that were used when I was growing up in NE Iowa but I don’t remember seeing white chocolate bars like you do now. These little balls are so cute, and anything with coconut has my attention. 🙂 Don’t let Izzy see these, she would think edible balls were just the thing! 🙂

Coconut is a recent love for me, but now I can’t get enough. I would totally devour these. I tried to make truffles a couple times, but I can never get the mixture to set. I have no idea what’s going wrong.

Love this! I had a very different upbringing — I grew up on a tropical island, and coconut was a plentiful staple, but I can still appreciate your excitement for your Mom’s creations — there’s nothing much better than fresh coconut 🙂 Sounds like these would be great with chopped nuts, too.

You would’ve loved my birthday parties in Tokyo, Liz. Coconut birthday cake was one of my favorites…Speaking of faves…You are one of my go-to people for bulletproof sensational recipes. Definitely keeping this recipe =)

Amazing how these can be made with just four ingredients. I love your serving platter – purpose built! White chocolate truffles are my favourite. These would be perfect any time but especially at Christmas! xx

Oh dear, you have found one of my biggest weaknesses, Liz. I love anything coconut and once I start…well, it isn’t pretty. I bought something similar in a candy shop at the beach and can’t wait to try your recipe.
